The second day from Illaga I shot a female bustard with my rifle but this is the only one we have seen. Several other species of fowl have been performing their mating antics along the river and today we saw a number of black capped terns swimming about. I shot at Illaga Yellow headed craytars are plentiful as also the black white wagtails. I saw two small ducks today - probably teal but I could not positively identify them. Yesterday we had several caravans of ox and camel carts loaded with furniture and supplies. They were many families moving their belongings from their winter camping along the river to other grazing grounds for the summer. Inside the camel carts are all clouded around felt like a tent house on wheels. Wed June 11 Last night we camped on a hill & on gaining the summit was a beautiful camp, & a perfect night. The moon set was rainlous, the whole western sky being flooded with blood red light. At the left thereal accumulated after the carts started off again and we rode along the river. I shot a Eng bean goose, the only one we have seen.
